Even better, Oregon paid for the trains, but the train will spend more time in Washington, be maintained in a yard in Seattle with Washington state residents getting paid paychecks in Washington, deposited in Washington, and not paying Oregon income tax.
And I still won't be able to reasonably get from Portland to Eugene and back to Portland in one day, because we blew $40 million on a train to help Oregonians get to Seattle and contribute to Seattle's economy and not pay Oregon taxes.
And Oregon's highways will still be congested and full of potholes...
